won't make any difference worth getting excited about, 205/40/17 have been on mine and are just a harder ride that's all, 215/40/17 don't rub at all even when the car is lowered, so i can't see 215/45/17 rubbing on a std ride height car, all they will do is soak up the bumps better due to the deeper wall's

imho the only difference may be a small amount of side wall flex with your's being 45 profile, there is no way i would run 26 rear unless you want to do some hardcore drifting after the rear has broken traction due to to much tyrewall flex
